Esteban was excellent in accommodating our needs. We had to reschedule twice, once due to weather and once due to illness. Fishing was excellent.

If you are prone to seasickness don’t go. 5 of 9 people got sick. Probably not a good idea for a windy day
A 4 hr tour turn into 6 hrs and they did not come to the hotel lobby they waited at the main gate
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Tracy,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations.
Sea conditions can sometimes be challenging, especially on windy days, and unfortunately seasickness can affect some guests despite our best efforts to provide a smooth trip. We always recommend that guests who are prone to seasickness take precautions before the tour.
Regarding the duration, weather and sea conditions can occasionally cause delays beyond our control, as safety is always our top priority.
As for the pickup, we sincerely apologize for any confusion. We always aim to provide clear instructions, and we will review this internally to improve communication and avoid similar situations in the future.
We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving our service.

Fishing trip cancelled due to hurricane Melissa. Disappointed but stuff happens. Having difficulty getting the tour operator to acknowledge tour credit.

What an experience to say the least. Great price, great crew and people. Even with pills, I still got very seasick with the rough waters. Laying down inside did help the most. Now For the fishing, the deckhand/mate was great. Everyone in the group got to reel in at least 1 fish. We caught a mix of mahi mahi and barracuda. (This is fishing so fish are not guarenteed). Clean/safe boat. Would reccomend to a friend or another.
Betty_S, Apr 2025
We caught one fish for 8 people on the boat. I felt bad because 6 of them had never fished on the ocean before. The seas were super rough with about 1/2 of the group barfing over the side of the boat. The crew did their best to put us on fish but it was just too rough for surface fishing. I’m right in the middle with this trip. Don’t book it if you have a weak stomach. Otherwise hope for the best. Our Mahi was very delicious for dinner so that was a strong positive
Natasha_T, Mar 2025
Very cool experience! We went with 3 other people. Staff were great, spoke very little English. If you get motion sick easily I would not go. We went for 4 hours and I threw up the entire time. Caught 3 fish in the 4 hours.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Sincerely,
Esteban Mejia
Shaun_B, Feb 2025
The communication around the pickup from hotel was nonexistent. The sea was incredibly rough and half of the group were very sick. 1 barracuda was the only catch. We voted unanimously as a group of 8 to head back after 3 hours because everyone just wanted off the boat. The skiff to get to/from the fishing boat was sketchy at best. I didn’t realize we’d have to get in the water to get to the boat. It’s not an experience that I’d recommend, but I will say the guys on the boat were nice enough.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Dear Shaun family,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We are very sorry that your experience was not what you expected. We take feedback about communication and safety very seriously, and we will review these aspects internally to improve our service on future excursions. We understand that sea conditions can be unpredictable, and we apologize for the inconvenience this caused, especially with passengers feeling unwell.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback, and we are glad to know that the crew was friendly and attentive.
We hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Best Regards,

90 min van ride and then rode around in a old boat for 4 hours, we didn't see a fish. 4 hours, not 1 bite. We didn't touch a fishing rod. Then they took us back to the beach for the 90 min ride back to the resort.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hello, Dear guest,
Firstly, we want to thank the time you take to give us your point of view about the fishing tour.
We understand how you feel, as expert in fishing tout we can tell you sometime this is as sport, we can have a great fishing catch and another day the catch is not so big.
we apologize, and sorry for your experience and wish the next time the experience is better on the catch.
Best regards.

Overall it was a great experience. Like others the nausea was intense but expected. Aside from that great experience. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We caught 1 barracuda and 4 mahi mahi. Also seen whales while we were out. I would definitely book with this company again.

Initially stated that there will be 4-6 people. It was 8 people. In four hours caught one small barracuda. They didn't have even fish finder. Everybody was disappointed.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Dear guests,
Firstly, we want to thank you for trusting us to enjoy this magnificent and exciting sports fishing tour and for taking your valuable time to inform us about your perception. For us, it is extremely important because it helps us see the whole picture and improve each day.
We also want to tell you that the shared tour is designed for 7 people fishing plus two observers and/or companions in case. In terms of fishing, we regret that on that day, they caught only one fish.
Sometimes there are days when there is not a big catch. As you well know, fishing is a fun and extraordinary sport, but it is also unpredictable.
Thanks again for your comment.
Joyce_T, Nov 2023
My husband and son had an excellent time. Love the fish they caught. This is there 2nd time deep sea fishing. Different area and they were wowed they surely would recommend to anyone that would love to do this.

Kind regards, and wish to have you again in Punta Cana.

VIATOR were brilliant. My pickup time didn't update on the app. Contact Viator as Tour company never replied and they sorted straight away via WhatsApp, very easy - Plus Viator we're so much cheaper than booking via hotel!
Started with a good on-time pick up from our hotel. Taken to the Boat Yard and introduced to the shop owner....a bit of pressure to purchase from the shop! Expensive, be carefully. Paid £5 for a can of redbull
Popped on a smaller boat and transferred to the Fishing boat.
All was good, until we hit very high waves. 3 out of 6 were sick, so choose a calm day if you can.
Withing 20mins we caught 3 Mahi Mahi and I caught a Barracuda.
The boat hand made sure we all got a turn!
Unfortunately that was all we caught. The rest of the 2-3 hours was being thrown around in the boat. Not the tour companies fault, that's what fishing is about - win some and lose some!
Plenty of drink on board, soft drink and beer. Didn't see any snacks (even though it mentioned them) so take your own biscuits (helps with seasickness) or even better sea sickness tablets.
Had a great photo option at the end, using your own phone, so no pressure to purchase pictures 😀
Would go again....on a calmer day
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Dear: Elisha,
Firstly, we want to recognize her knowledge of fishing and congratulate her on her catch. And thank you for taking the time to leave your experience and recommendations, this type of opinion helps us to be better every day.
Yes, we certainly sometimes contact clients directly on their WhatsApp because it is a faster mechanism, unfortunately when people are on vacation they are not very attentive to emails, but it is easy to be reached by cell phone.
We are very happy that you and your family liked it and that you had a good experience, even though fishing is a sport that sometimes depends a lot on the tide. We will always look for a way for our customers to have a good experience, since the reason we exist is because of you.
Thanks and kind regards,
Lynn_M, Sep 2023
Very nice trip, boat was more spacious than expected with a covered seating area with enough space for everyone. Recommend taking Dramamine the night before if you get seasick. 4 out of six people were not doing well.

Il était mentionné que l’activité durait 4 hres. Ce qui est vrai puisqu’il y a 4 hres de « pêche ». Mais il faut rajouter 1,5 hres de transport aller + 1,5 hres de retour. Total de 7 hres.
Parlant du transport:
Il y a eu 3 arrêts, pour ramasser 8 voyageurs pour un total de 9 personnes dans une Grand Caravan qui contient 7 places… très plaisant le 3 hres de transport…
Maintenant le point important, quand c’est écrit « pêche », ça veut plutôt dire:
- regarder l’employé sortir les cannes
- regarder l’employé préparer les cannes en mettant/changeant les appâts
- voir l’employé s’en aller parler avec le Capitaine sur le haut du bateau
- voir l’employé revenir vérifier les lignes aux 30 minutes et remonter en haut avec le Capitaine
Et tout ça pendant que les 8 touristes attendent sans rien faire…. Et sans que l’employé ne parle ou n’explique quoi que ce soit…. Fallait deviner que rien ne se passait…
On a eu droit à 1 bouteille d’eau et c’est tout.
Comble de malchance, aucune prise… mais ça je le comprends, c’est des choses qui arrivent…
Bref, un tour de pêche pas cher, qui vaut pas cher. Pour une expérience, peut être investir un peu plus.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

Wir haben morgens 40 Minuten auf den Fahrer gewartet.
Am Boot angekommen ging es zu 7 + 2 Guides aufs Boot.
Während der ganzen Fahrt haben wir nur gewartet. Die angeln wurden vom Guide ins Meer gelassen.
Alle auf einer höhe an der Meeresoberfläche.
Uns war schnell klar das das so nichts wird.
Gefangen haben wir nur einen barracuda, den mein Mann nur die letzen Meter einkurbeln durfte.
Es war sehr langweilig.
Die anderen Gäste haben vor Ort gebucht und nur 60€ bezahlt.
Wir würden diese Tour nicht weiterempfehlen.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Lisa,
we appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
For us, it is essential that our clients are fully satisfied with each service; that is what we strive for.
Yes, we actually had a delay in your pick-up, and we apologize for that, as we told you by phone. Our driver spent more time than expected waiting for other clients at the hotel before your pick-up.
The capacity for one person fishing in the shared space is a maximum of seven people. Regarding the price, our price is in dollars; do not sell in euros. You should probably consider changing the currency, since the euro is more expensive.
Again, we do not apologize for the delay, as we expressed to you via telephone.
We appreciate your comment.

Ça brasse énormément!
Si vous avez le mal de mer, veuillez vous abstenir. Vomis une couple de fois.
2 poissons pour 5 pêcheurs.
On a attendu 45 min pour le transport du retour. L'excursion à durée au total 6h.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Apprécié: Bergeron,
Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience avec nous.
Maintenant, certains jours, vous vivrez cette expérience, à cause de la météo. Certes, cette semaine, entre le 20 et le 27 novembre, la mer est très haute, donnant le vertige à certains pêcheurs peu habitués à pêcher dans les Caraïbes.
Quant au temps de pêche, c'est 4 heures de pêche sur le bateau, entre la prise en charge et l'arrivée pour prendre le bateau, les renseignements du capitaine, et le retour à l'hôtel dureront environ cinq heures trente à presque six heures. des heures pour tout.
Merci de nous faire confiance et nous espérons que la météo sera meilleure lors de vos chaînes de vacances.
Avec nous meilleures salutations,
